Add a monitor service

Before you can begin adding counters to monitor and record system metrics, you need to add a monitor service to your collection in ArcGIS Monitor Administrator. Complete these steps to add a monitor service to a collection:

1. Start Monitor Administrator.

   The Connections view appears.

2. Click Open on the ArcGIS Monitor Server application connection to which you want to add a monitor service.

   The collection pane appears.

3. Click a collection in the tree view to choose it.
4. Right-click the collection to which you want to add a monitor service and click Add Monitor Service.

   The New Monitor Service dialog box appears.

5. Type a name for the monitor service in the Name text box.
6. Type a port number for the monitor service in the Communication Port text box.
7. Click Add.

   The new monitor service appears in the tree view and a confirmation message appears, informing you that the monitor service was created successfully.

Now that you’ve added a monitor service to your collection, continue with Set Windows service permissions.
